Why SDG 17 Matters in India

 

No single government, organization, or community can achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) alone. SDG 17 emphasizes collaboration across sectors and borders to mobilize resources, share knowledge, build capacity, and implement inclusive policies. For India, being home to 17.7% of the world’s population, partnerships — domestic and international — are vital to scale innovations, address financing gaps, and ensure sustainable development reaches the last mile.

🇮🇳 India-Specific Challenges and Priorities

 

  • Financing gaps: India needs an estimated $2.6 trillion to meet all 17 SDGs by 2030

  • Limited capacity building at local government and NGO levels

  • Low levels of data sharing and monitoring of SDG progress

  • Uneven public-private collaboration

  • Need to leverage South-South cooperation and technology partnerships

  • Underutilization of CSR funds in SDG-aligned development
